Thread: how do you calibrate for sub + MBM-12 with Audyssey?

Quote: Originally Posted by sivadselim BTW, do you know if the 'SubEQ' can EQ those outputs individually? Just curious. Yes, but that mode might miss things that are a result of the summed output. Mr. Audyssey seems to prefer the time align/level match then running Audyssey on the summed output (of all the subwoofers) method. Which makes sense to me. Best of both worlds. The official word is spoken somewhere in the main Audyssey...

I'm just saying it's not as simple as just hooking it up and kicking off the Audyssey setup. It's not hard, but it's not plug and play...

Quote: Originally Posted by HDTVChallenged HSU should have some "how to use an MBM" instructions posted over at their website. Follow those instructions first ... then run Audyssey. You mean like instructions on the multiple ways to connect the MBM? I think that always required the end user to read and follow the instructions written in the MBM instruction manual. The OP was looking for the easy way out, and is looking for a...

Audyssey will handle it just like it would handle two identical subs on a Y-adapter at completely different distances. Audyssey is a time-based EQ. It will all come out in the wash... So you're saying that in the cross-over region where the two subs overlap Audyssey will be able to time align the two different sources at different...
